Bank Genów Jagniątków › Droga pod Reglami › Paciorki › Czarny Kocioł Jagniątkowski
Here is another recommended full-day hiking trip. While wandering through the forests of the Karkonosze mountains, you will acquire knowledge about the natural surroundings of Jagniątków, as well as about the local forest ecosystems. On the road leading from the lowest plant floor, twenty information points are prepared for you. At the beginning of the trip you will get to know what is protected in the famous so-called “Żywy Bank Genów Jagniątków” (The Living Gene Bank) in Jagniątków. Continuing your hike, you will be able to get a closer look at the upper and lower montane zones, the forests, and the subalpine forest floors. It is possible to observe the changes brought about by the actions of man, which resulted in an ecological disaster that affected the Karkonosze mountains in the 1980s. Passing the Paciorki rocks you will see enormous areas where trees were uprooted and felled by the wind. You will have a perfect view of Czarny Kocioł Jagniątkowski, Śnieżne Kotły, and Szrenica. After crossing the upper edge of the forest you will be in the subalpine floor with its characteristic dwarf pine. Going further towards the border you will notice clumps of peat. After passing the Czarny Kocioł you should follow along the return trail to Jagniątków.
